What does Phtaloblue smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean slightly masculine, though plenty call it feminine, so it sits in between. It also works in fall, while winter is the least chosen season.

The top opens with bergamot, Sicilian lemon and Bulgarian lavender, with fennel adding a green edge. In the heart, orange blossom and rock samphire come forward. The base of cedar, amber and tonka bean sweetens and softens it. Aquatic and spicy facets run through it. Nikos Sculpture Homme and Chopard Heaven have a close profile.
